Archbishop Gorrigan Speaks on
Popular Errors.

NEW YORK. May iG.-Arabbi,hop Corr-
lan made his CanOnicll visitation 10 the
Church Of the Sacred Heart this morning
Low mass Was celebrated, al the conclusion
of which The Archbishop spoke on the
popular errors, which, he said, were wide.
" prevalent 1t the present time. The first
q these was the idea that private owner
hin Of land was unjust. This idea the
Archbishop characterized as 4 fallacy
against both philosophy and cOmmOn
.orse. and rs against the teachings OF the
Catholic Church. Those who claimed
that land. like sunshine ana air, was the
free gift Of God and equally the property
Il all overlooked the great difference that
the ,un and air cannot become private pro-
ptrty rs can land. He declared That every
man had q right to acquire by honest
means as much property a. he could, and
cited The Indians Us an example OF the dis.
l,tfouS results Of free land policy. lle
also said hat the idea was in direct oppo IL
ton 10 The decree OF the Pope, and that
those v hO favored il knew that they we're
infringing on the ordnance OF God.
The second error which the Archbishop
Wished 10 combat was that the Pope bad
The right 10 command and to be Ob3yed
only IN matters OF faith and morals, and
when speaking a. inflllibe mi, idea hld
been decroed false by the Vatican Council,
who lad ordered that "ii any one should
.ag that the Pope had the right t. COM
mand in matters 81 fdth and morals a0d
not in discipline let him be anatheml."
The Pope, however, does not interfere in
matters OF politics unless the Government
iniefiercS in matters OF conscience. and he
has warned all bishops and archbishopS
mat they must be obedient to the Govern
ment under which they are.
